Best place for sangria and guacamole

i adore the sangria at Coco Roco on 5th Avenue but, I don't think they have guacamole

I'm a big fan of the guac @ Miracle Grill on 7th -- their regular stuff is great, plus they have a pineapple version. Yum. Don't know about their sangria, but their margaritas are good.

Yeah-the sangria at Los Pollitos wasn't bad-I think Coco roco's is better-but, they were a close second

I'm surprised coco roco still comes up as an option... haven't they been closed by the board of health twice in recent months? I know that they got one score of 27 and were shut down for "spoiled, adulterated, contaminated or cross-contaminated" food.

Coco Roco received a 41 on July 14th and a 27 on August 30th. See BoH

Uhh, ok, so, like I said, that was last year, months ago. They were closed down for about a month, took care of the violations and have now been re-open since, I don't know october I guess..

I am with you LongTime Sloper!! What can I say... Forgive and forget. Coco Roco got caught in that period of time when restaurants were being inspected to the point of harassment. Sure some of those violations had to do with food preparation and vermin but the inspectors did things like opening the chicken roaster and then putting the thrmometer in and then citing that the temperature in the roaster was too low. Give me a break. Now it was a blessing that the Burgur Bar landed up eventually closing down after the Board of health shut them down last summer because the joint served terrible food but Coco Roco is a different story.

I eat there and order from there and enjoy the food. The service is slow but that can be a good thing if you want to share a meal with friends and hang out. It isn't the place to run in and expect you will be out in half an hour. So what.

Drab Rabbit..lay off this place!! If you don't want to eat there that is just fine but I hate to see a thread that wigles in to disparaging a restaurant because they were part of the health Department barage.

Or.. Uncovered waste paper basket in the bathroom!

Do you have a cover on your waste paper basket in your bathroom?

I admit... I don't.
Violation!
